Friday... the 13th.

Well today it starts. Cindy will have her first treatment of radiation which will be a two week treatment. She will get radiation every day for the next two weeks. She can do this as an "out" patient. She will be staying tonight though for observation but after that she can come back here and just go to the city during the day to get her treatment and come home. The reason they are doing this first is because there is a section in her lower spine that needs immediate attention. They also changed her inhaler medications in hopes of controlling her coughing and to sooth her some.

Melissa has a cold so that really restricts where she can go and see. I'm hoping not to catch it myself but seems Melissa has taken a HUGE attachment to me and hugs me constantly and always puts her hands on me. She walks up behind me and hugs my legs, pulls at my clothes and laughs. She really is such a little doll!!! I feel like I have a responsibility to her right now more then anyone else. My parents need to concentrate on Cindy and even though my concerns, prayers and thoughts are with Cindy, Melissa seems to need me around. So "around" I'll be.

I got in touch with a few people from Cindy's office today and gave them the website here... as well as some of the campground members my parents associate with. So I'd like to say hello to everyone who is just reading all of this for the first time. Theres a lot to catch up on, but I'm sure you guys will. My sister's best friend Bonnie is printing out all the pages to make a scrapbook for when all of this is over. Its strange to know that whatever I type will wind up in her book. Hi Bonnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll post more as I get it. She's feeling a bit better today from getting liquids and meds to help clean out her system. I hope that she does ok with this...
